Will New Extra-Point Rules Cause More Teams To Go For Two?

So, it’s official. NFL extra points won’t be nearly as much of a gimme after the owners voted 30-2 (with Oakland and Washington voting no) to move the PAT back to the 15-yard line. But what will actually change?...

Therapy Is For Everyone, Even You

Contrary to popular belief, everybody could use a little therapy. Even after a decade of watching Don of All Dons Tony Soprano put in his weekly couch time, we downplay the importance of mental health and regard talking about your feelings as a sign of weakness. (It's not.) That said, therapy shoul...

Young Thug Is Making Money Fun Again

After seeing the new video for Young Thug's "Check," I'm beginning to think that he is literally in love with money. I've never seen someone as enamored with the look and feel of dollar bills as he is. Just watch the video and look how hard it is for him to keep his hands away from the omnipresent s...

Drew Miller Takes The Sharp End Of A Skate To His Face (GRAPHIC)

Skates aren't supposed to go six feet high, but sometimes when you're being undercut to the ground shit happens. After getting hit in the face by Ottawa forward Mark Stone's skate, Drew Miller immediately got up and skated to the bench, motioning frantically. Luckily, somehow, though Miller suffer...

2 Chainz Is The Atlanta Hawks MVP

In 2012, when soon-to-be-doomed Atlanta Hawks co-owner Bruce Levenson tried to guess why home attendance was down, he found one unlikely culprit: rap music. The Hawks needed to draw white males ages 33 to 55, as he wrote in an infamous email to General Manager Danny Ferry. And while Levenson, a ne...

Listen To These 14 Great Rap Albums From 2015

Report: This Is How The NFL Could Fix PATs

Extra points are broken, and nearly everyone in football agrees. Last year, according to Peter King in today's MMQB, 30 of 32 NFL teams polled agreed that the PAT has to change. And per King, a framework for changes appears to have emerged during last week's league meetings....

Iggy Azalea Raps, Sounds Like A Sputtering Lawnmower

Future Is The Hardest-Working Guy In Rap

Atlanta rapper Future hasn't slept much this year. He's put out three mixtapes since October, is currently working on another, and at this rate is Lil B-level prolific, but with more songs that actually make it in the pocket. You don't even have to like Future to appreciate the insanity of that lev...

Serial Rapist Darren Sharper Might Serve Just 9 Years [Updated]

As expected, the plea deals are rolling in for accused serial rapist Darren Sharper, and so far the sentences seem fairly light. But we won't know how long Sharper will spend in prison until he officially pleads in all five jurisdictions, because he'll functionally serve only the longest of his fi...

Commercial Shandies Are For Suckers. Drink This Beer Instead.

Beer is very useful. In just the past few days I have relied on beer to help me relate to my fellow man, to make college basketball interesting, and to wean me off my Tylenol PM addiction. Beer can also be used to liven up an otherwise limp pot of whatever-bean chili, to repair a dicey relationshi...

Bob Huggins's Daughters Call Dez Wells A Rapist

Maryland guard Dez Wells was kicked off the Xavier men's basketball team in 2012 after being accused of sexual assault.

Wisconsin Players Are Obsessed With The Stenographer

At the NCAA tournament, all player and coach interviews are transcribed by a stenographer, to be handed out to the media for ease of accurately quoting. It is, admittedly, a fascinating, fast-paced job, featuring a stenotype machine that works unlike anything most people have ever seen. ...
